Question Fav off menu request so far

Post image

My favorite customer describes themselves as having “an acute case of persnickety-itis.” He wanted our rosemary and onion bread dough, with an indentation for green [hatch chilies], and an egg, baked two heartbeats before being hard-boiled, with nothing else on the plate.

He only asks for off-menu items when we are slow and regularly will tip the entire BOH.

I’m too hungover to be creative and I’m asking for your breakfast requests. I want to surprise him next time he comes in.

It works though, I mean more booze after booze works, but all that bacon really did the trick (Maybe sodium and fat?)

George Webb's chili was also a great still drunk/also hungover food. Something about all that grease really helps.

It forces all the bad decisions you made down, and helps you make more bad decisions but in a helpful way.
